Hi David,
We have added following Accessibility features in CRM 4.0 :
1) High Contrast Mode (Tools --> Options --> General Tab --> Enable high
contrast settings)
2) All the Form input elements have <LABEL FOR> to aid in screen readers.
Example: <label for=â??address_idâ??>Address:</label><input id=â??address_idâ?? â?¦>
3) All the Images have a ALT tag (for non text elements)
4) Frames now have a title describing their purpose (stage, navigation, etc.)
5) We moved form old red text "required" (in V3) to the red asterisk (in v4
Titan) gives an image with an alt attribute to describe what it means (and
also helps users who may not have known what red text was â?? the alt text is
visible as a tooltip to everyone).
6) Clickable items have an A href around them to help user to click.
etc.
Thanks!
Manoj
